Inter Milan’s Jonathan Biabiany could be interested in a move to West Ham.
The agent of Inter Milan winger Jonathan Biabiany has told Calcio Mercato that his client would be interested in a move to West Ham United – following some bizarre Instagram action in January.
Biabiany, 28, has featured in Italy for some time, turning out for the likes of Modena, Parma, Inter, Sampdoria, Parma again and now Inter again following a 2015 move.
The French wide man has been known for his blistering pace over the years, but he has made just three appearances for Inter this season – none of which have come in Serie A.
Many expected Biabiany to leave the San Siro in January, to the point where Italian bookmakers were offering odds on his next club, but he remained with Stefano Piolo’s men beyond the deadline.
Now though, an intricate web regarding a possible move to West Ham is being untangled. As aforementioned, Italian bookmakers offered odds on Biabiany’s next club, with the above post appearing on Instagram before the January deadline.
Biabiany himself posted the top comment on that photo, simply stating ‘West Ham’ for his next club; the Hammers didn’t make a move, meaning his comment was somewhat confusing.
Now, Biabiany’s agent Davide Bega has commented on that situation, telling Calcio Mercato that Biabiany ‘likes the London club’ when asked about West Ham.

Whether Slaven Bilic is even interested in Biabiany remains to be seen, but it’s an interesting idea given lingering questions over Sofiane Feghouli’s long-term future at the London Stadium.
Feghouli was heavily linked with a January move away from East London, and whilst Bilic does have the likes of Manuel Lanzini, Robert Snodgrass and Michail Antonio at his disposal, Gokhan Tore looks unlikely to win a permanent deal with the club – meaning a spot could be opened up for a winger, and Biabiany may well hope to be approached this summer.
